It was as if Wu Hao had not heard her words, as he showed no reaction.
Jiang Qianqian pouted and called out unhappily, âWu Hao!â
Wu Haoâs eyelids twitched, but he did not open his eyes. He hummed perfunctorily in response. The hand Jiang Qianqian had placed on his chest stopped moving, and she also became silent
It was only then that Wu Hao opened his eyes and glanced at her. âTell me, what is it?â
Jiang Qianqian smiled at his question and said, âAh Hao, I was beaten up a few days ago...â
âHm.â Wu Hao shut his eyes again.
âI was in so much pain, and my face was swollen for a few days. Thereâs still a bruise on my waist right here...â Jiang Qianqian complained pitifully, but Wu Hao remained silent. In the end, Jiang Qianqian asked, âAh Hao, do you know who hit me?â
Wu Hao inattentively responded to her, âWho?â
Jiang Qianqian bit her bottom lip and said softly, âIt was Xu Wennuan.â She carefully studied Wu Haoâs expression, but it remained tranquil and unruffled. She couldnât quite grasp what Wu Hao was thinking. After some time, she spoke again, getting to the point this time. âAh Hao, the truth is, thereâs no way she could have beaten me, but do you know who helped her in the end?â
She didnât know if Wu Hao was really unconcerned about this or if he was simply distracted. He maintained his expressionless look and his silence.
Jiang Qianqian rolled her eyes before she continued. âIt was Lu Bancheng.â
The moment her words settled, Jiang Qianqian vividly felt Wu Haoâs body stiffen.
Is Wu Hao still longing for that woman? Thatâs just greatâIâll make him give up on her completely... Today!
Jiang Qianqianâs eyes shined as she said, âThey seem to have an intimate relationship. Lu Bancheng has always been quite good to me, but he lost his temper at me that day. When they left, he even held her hand, and she didnât reject him. I think that theyâre together...â
After a pause, Jiang Qianqian added more fuel to the fire. âI feel that Xu Wennuan relies a lot on Lu Bancheng.â
Wu Hao, who had been lying on the bed in silence all this while, suddenly stretched his arm when he heard Jiang Qianqianâs final sentence. He shoved her aside, sat up, and picked up his robe to put it on. He paid no attention to Jiang Qianqian shouting at him as he entered the bathroom.
After a shower, Wu Hao emerged from the bathroom fully dressed and completely ignoring Jiang Qianqian as he headed straight to the balcony off the living room and lit a cigarette. He didnât know when it had started snowing, but the ground was covered in a layer of white.
Wu Haoâs smoking movement suddenly halted. He stared at the falling snowflakes and was reminded of how he had proposed to Xu Wennuan in A High School two years ago at this same time of year.
Jiang Qianqian put on her pajamas and chased after him on the balcony. She wrapped her arms around his waist and started saying nice things to him. âAh Hao, donât be angry. It was my fault. I shouldnât have brought her up.â
Wu Hao remained deep in thought and ignored Jiang Qianqian.
When I proposed to her two years ago, I truly wanted to spend the rest of my life with her. But it all ended before it even began.
âAh Hao, I was wrong. Ah Hao...â Jiang Qianqianâs hands started fumbling with his belt.
